Abstract

Soft tissue reconstruction of the distal lower leg is a challenging issue for plastic surgeons. Immediate coverage of exposed anatomical structures with soft tissue after trauma prevents these structures from being infected, and this is very important for burn patients. Free flaps have recently been accepted as the gold-standard technique for ankle and foot reconstruction; however, this is changing with the increasing popularity of the perforator flaps. Today, perforator flaps are commonly performed for the reconstruction of the soft-tissue defects across the body. In this report, we want to present the reconstruction of a soft-tissue defect case using perforator-based propeller flap in a burn patient for immediate reconstruction. A 45-year-old male patient had a soft-tissue defect over the medial side of the ankle and foot due to a high-voltage electrical burn. The exposed bone tissue was covered with a propeller flap of 15×6 cm size, without any circulation problems during the postoperative period. In conclusion, we want to state that perforator-based propeller flaps are reliable, successful, and effective techniques for the immediate reconstruction of distal leg and foot. These flaps can be easily performed without requiring any microsurgical technique thus, they can be commonly performed by most of the plastic surgeons.

Özet

Bacak distal bölgesinin yumuşak doku rekonstrüksiyonu plastik cerrahlar için zorlu bir konudur. Travma sonrası açığa çıkan anatomik yapıların kısa sürede yumuşak doku ile kapatılması, bu yapıları enfeksiyon gibi komplikasyonlardan korur ki, bu durum yanık hastaları için oldukça önemlidir. Serbest flepler yakın zamana kadar distal bacak bölgesinin rekonstrüksiyonunda altın standart yöntem olarak kabul edilmekteydi, ancak perforatör fleplerin giderek artan popülaritesi bu durumu değiştirmiştir. Günümüzde perforatör flepler alt ekstremite de dâhil, vücudun hemen her alanında yumuşak doku rekonstrüksiyonunda yaygın olarak uygulanmaktadır. Bu raporda, bir yanık hastasında perforatör fleple yapılan acil yumuşak doku rekonstrüksiyonunu sunmak istedik. 45 yaşında erkek hastada yüksek gerilim elektrik yanığına bağlı olarak ayak ve ayak bileği medial yüzünde yumuşak doku defekti mevcuttu. Açığa çıkan kemik dokusu 15x6 cm boyutunda perforatör tabanlı pervane flebi ile onarıldı, ameliyat sonrası dönemde flepte herhangi bir dolaşım sıkıntısına rastlanılmadı. Sonuç olarak ifade etmek isteriz ki, perforatör tabanlı pervane flepleri yanık nedeniyle oluşan distal bacak ve ayak yumuşak doku defektlerinin onarımında oldukça güvenilir, başarılı ve etkili bir onarım tekniğidir. Mikrocerrahi tekniğe gereksinim duyulmadığından plastik cerrahların çoğu tarafından yaygın bir biçimde ve kolaylıkla uygulanabilir.
